"A study at the University of Utah found that if you ask someone why he is friendly with someone else, heâ€™ll say it is because he and his friend share similar attitudes. But if you actually quiz the two of them on their attitudes, youâ€™ll find out that what they actually share is similar activities. Weâ€™re friends with the people we do things with, as much as we are with the people we resemble. We donâ€™t seek out friends, in other words. We associate with the people who occupy the same small, physical spaces that we do."

-- Malcolm Gladwell
